So right now we have a first line center who can't finish so that's the excuse. And our top prospect is a sniper that apparently cannot score because he doesn't have a center. Well once those 2 are put together. No more excuses after that Part of the problem is Jack shouldn’t be playing 1C yet. We need Nico back in a bad way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Henrique. Holtz better pan out... I'm inclined to count Henrique given the dreck that's followed his arrival in NJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils Pride 26 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I don’t think shots were indicative of how the game went. Devils played very tough in their own end. Keep it going. Go 3-2 in the next 5. if Nico isn’t back for the Rangers series, we riot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewskies Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Beating the Capitals is difficult for the NJ Devils. But then that is true of most teams against the Caps. They have played 37 games, and won 24. No doubt the Devils need more talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Lame, but they're a good team and NJ isnt(yet) so sh!t happens. I banged my fist on my desk and yelled "fvck fvck fvck fvck fvck YOUUUUU" lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Conte was an absolute scrub by then. I agree on Holtz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 We are at the end of the rebuild now where we have the cap space, inventory and the timing to start adding some finishers via free agency or trade. I expect Fitzgerald to have a busy offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titans04 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I'm not even sure how to describe what happened on that last attempt in OT and what cause him to fall in close without getting a shot off even after watching over and over again. You have to think at some point those kind of things will stop happening. It's even more than bad luck which he's has plenty of imo. He toe picked away an opportunity a few games back, unfortunately I think the pressure is weighing on him for sure and not having Nico is only becoming even more of an issue as time goes on. Hopefully something gives soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully something gives soon. “Be quick, but don’t hurry,” is a famous quote from John Wooden, the legendary basketball coach of UCLA. In other words, do the right things, but learn how to do them quickly. Author Andrew Hill recounting his playing days with Wooden, says, “Life, like basketball, must be played fast–but never out of control.” In product development, lack of quickness results in competitive disadvantage, while hurrying causes mistakes. Balance is one of the keys to agility. “Wooden’s genius was in helping his players find and maintain that razor’s edge between quickness and hurrying,” says Hill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but for an elite skater how do you end you sliding into second without even getting a shot off, that's the over the top part. You go in and get stopped ok, I get it most guys will get stopped most of the time. Almost every guy stays on their feet, elite skaters certainly due. I just think it's in his head at this point for sure. It's not the first time he Daniel Jones'd it in the last couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
